Religion plays in this book a lot it's a blend of the Revelation as told by John and the Superheroes and world at stake. He's a likeable character, but the prophetic speaking grew tiresome. At first I was willing to ride in his head, but eventually I was eager for something to start happening. The story is told through the narration of Norman McCay, a small time but wise pastor, but I think an issue was the lag before getting to the meat and heart of the story, taking too long to propel my interest. It's a future story of the dark days ahead of the DC Universe, which should have been difficult for me to relinquish. Everything is here that should make me really like or love this book - great reviews and high rating, creative writing, bleakness, a focus on Superman and he's in his full power, interesting storyline - so what was the issue? It was hard to stay focused, easy to put down, and I was happy to have it finished. This is such a confusing book/review for me.
